Abstract:
Arctic Grayling were collected at designated stations on the Oksrukuyik from 1990 to current time. Phosphorus addition has occurred from 1991 to 1996; station sites are relative distance from the original 1991 dripper. Grayling were caught, pit tagged, weighed, measured, and then released back into the river.

Arctic grayling were caught in the Oksrukuyik Creek using unbarbed hooks with hook and line gear. The fish were tagged with different types of tags, depending on the year of caputre. Originally, Floy tags were used, but recently, PIT tags have been used. If the fish were caught a second time during a single summer, the growth was determined based on the change in length and weight from the first capture to the second. The fish were kept in the same reach as original capture through the use of fish weirs blocking movement.
